Ukraine SITREP March 4th, 2016 by Scott

A great Russian doctor, a pure genius, Zurab Kekelidze, once said that we can’t begin every morning with the news about a war next door. If we do, we are at risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder that may never go away. To add a little good news, humor and clean fun to our daily dose of war news, I started posting short entertaining videos of different places and corners of the biggest country in the world, Russia. If you have a moment, please, check them out.

Several people wrote to me with demands to stop naming my Ukraine SITREPs as “Ukraine” SITREPs. Let me explain to you my stance on this issue. Ukraine, or Ukraina is a Russian name for these territories of Russia. It means “on edge” or “on the border” or a “region.” Ukraine is mostly populated with Russian people. Ukraine has been occupied by the EU members and the US via its NATO military occupational forces and proxy neo-Nazi punitive armed forces. Ukraine is ruled now by a junta of international war criminals. When Hitler’s Germany occupied Ukrainian and Belorussian regions in 1941-1943, Russians knew that Germans would be defeated and Ukraine and Belorussia will be liberated. I have no doubt that Ukraine and Belorussia will come back and reunite with Russia. Because they are pieces of one country that was severed apart against the people’s will. Because people living in Ukraine and in Belorussia are the same Russian people who were separated.
Those of you who say that you support Donbass and don’t want to know anything about Ukraine, it’s because you don’t care about the fate of twenty five million Russian people who are living now on the occupied territory of Ukraine.

In January 2015, President Putin said: “The Ukrainian military is a NATO foreign legion. This NATO Foreign Legion isn’t interested in defending the national interests of Ukraine. Instead, these armed forces are pursuing of geo-political aim of containment of Russia. This aim is absolutely different from the real national interests of the Ukrainian people.”

The NATO/CIA occupational service SBU has been conducting raids of civilian arrests on the occupied areas of Donbass. They claim that they are looking for supporters of the Donetsk people republic, in fact, they are conducting ethnic cleansing.

SBU began “cleansing” the civilian population in the area of Artemovsk (Gorlovka direction), as reported by the Deputy commander of the corps of the Ministry of defense Donetsk republic Eduard Basurin.
“According to our intelligence, Ukraine continues to sweep the area in the buffer zone. Thus, in town Novoluganskoe the staff of SBU conducts targeted arrests of local residents who had relatives in DPR.” Basurin added that “people are being seized from their homes mostly at night, in some cases even without warm clothes.”

As a reminder, on January 28, the DPR Ministry of Defense first reported that in the district of Donetsk special forces of Ukraine “Berkut” started “cleansing” the civilian population. Also, mass detentions of alleged supporters of the DPR and LPR was held in late 2015 in settlements in the Kiev controlled territory to the West of Donetsk.

It comes as no surprise, that one of those NATO Ukrainian legion groups was attacked and killed near the village Schastie (Happiness).Ultra-national punitive battalion Azov has been protesting at the SBU (a foreign branch of CIA) building in Kiev. They demand the release of one of their commanders arrested for allegedly being an agent of Russia’s FSB.

The most valuable resource of Ukraine is black soils land. Today Pyatt says something about agricultural super-power. Tomorrow, he will declare that Ukraine won’t become a “super-power” on its own. The day after tomorrow, the occupational authorities will declare the “Soviet” laws of land protection to be wrong and standing in the way of Ukrainian progress. They will promise a flood of investment in the agricultural sector, if Ukraine will sell its arable lands. They will promise the “visa-free” regime one more time, and Ukrainian black soils will be transferred into the ownership of Monsanto, DuPont and the like. That’s why Monsanto was from the very beginning an active supporter of Maidan.

70% of the Ukrainian population is urban. Unemployment in Ukraine, officially is 600,000, and unofficially is about 2 million. These numbers are not estimating over 1 million migrant workers in Europe, and about 2 million migrant workers in Russia. This also doesn’t take into account the 1.5 million refugees from Donbass.
If you recall, before the Maidan putsch Rogozine visited Ukraine, and in Nicolaev placed Russia’s orders for their manufacturers, trying to keep people employed and industries running.

It’s not like we don’t want you guys here altogether and visa-free. We would love to let you in, but members of your Rada just wouldn’t let us.
He is the same Johannes Hahn who voted for trade sanctions against Russia, and after that made an angry statement in regard to the Russian food ban: “We are against any actions that impede trade.”

57% of all Ukrainians want a visa-free regime. 6 times the junta in Kiev declared a visa-free regime as functioning.

Umansky points out that the so called “debt restructuring deal” that Jaresko negotiated lets the bondholders be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams with warrants tied to GDP growth. When Ukraine’s economy will start recovering, for 20% debt “reduction” (about $3.4 billion) touted by Jaresko as a great victory, Ukraine will pay about $125 billion per year, without any maximum cap on payments.
No wonder this interview is absolutely muted in the media. I found only this very incoherent report with the use of a machine translator.

• Neo-Nazis from battalion Azov attacked and started shooting at the mayor of town Beloozerskoye on the NATO occupied territory of Donetsk Republic. The Mayor stayed cool and collected and continued recording them on his cell phone. He says “Strelay, strelay!” Meaning “shoot, shoot, at the Mayor! Tomorrow everybody will know that you are shooting at their Mayor!” while his assistant calls the local Police and local taxi drivers. In the end, terrorists left in a white van.

Part II is here. Mayor of town Beloozerskoye is telling his story to the Police

• UA Zone is a massive toxic boil that is ready to burst. 48 deputies of Rada with their Speaker Groysman, conducted an emergency meeting in Brussels to organize a brand new European government for Ukraine. In the next three months, Ukraine will get a brand new Euro-government. A Euro-commission office will be opened in Kiev, and it will de-facto become a real ruler of NATO occupied Ukraine. New euro-office will have credentials to appoint all the ministers and governors, to write all the laws, to conduct Ukraine’ foreign affairs. Europeans have already dismantled the Prosecutor General’s office, and are building a brand new punitive repressive system against the civilian population.

Remember the Victory Day celebration on May 9th, 2015? This is a message Russia sent to all people living under the fascist Western occupation in Ukraine. Songs for this concert were approved by the Kremlin. It’s the message to all Ukrainians to stay strong and to believe in our people’s victory.
War time song Mishka from Odessa. “You’re Odessit, Mishka. You’re a sailor Mishka, sailors don’t cry and don’t lose their high spirit.”

Rogers writes that dreamers, con artists and agents provocateurs gradually disappeared from the region. People who are living and working now in Donbass are dedicated and determined people. In the state of war, the governance of the republics are similar to the military. Democracy is only possible during peaceful times. People in Donetsk and Lugansk republics have created a powerful modern military, they have rebuilt mines and industries. People are getting salaries and pensions. Prices of food, electric and gas are lower than in Ukraine. Roads are being paved and flowers are being planted every spring.

Rogers compares the people who feel “disappointed” with these results with a young and not very bright girl from a movie The Flying Hussar’s Squadron about Denis Davydov, the most beloved Russian hero of the war with Napoleon 1812 and a Russian poet. The girl asked her father to invite Davydov and his men, because she dreamed of meeting a hero officer and a poet. Instead, in came a group of bearded men, who looked nothing like she imagined, and who have been fighting the French army for a year.

2. The murder of the Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Permski Krai, Sergei Mitrofanov, has been met with the stonewall silence from the liberal media. However, the circumstances of his death and the situation in Perm are getting more traction in Russia.

On February 28, 2016 a body of Sergei Mitrofanov was found near Perm in a small town that never in the history of its existence had a car crash, or a murder. First, it was reported that the deputy died of a heart attack, but persistent rumors and interest in his death made the Police admit that he was run over by a car, while walking a dog, taken into the same car, driven to another location and thrown out of the car.

What makes this a political murder is the fact that the Israeli media immediately came out with several articles linking the death of the Legislative Assembly deputy to the fact that he was against construction in Perm of the synagogue of “Chabad Lubavitch” and against the free provision of municipal land for this construction. According to the information portal Israeleco.com, the late head of the LDPR faction in the regional Parliament Sergei Mitrofanov did not show up for a meeting with Berl Lazar, chief Rabbi of Russia according to Chabad. Berel Lazar was meeting with the Governor of Perm, Viktor Basargin, to discuss with the regional and city authorities the question of the allocation of free land to Chabad. Other Israeli sources claim that Sergei Mitrafanov was killed a few days before the previously announced demonstration against Chabad Lubavitch organization activities in this Russian region. The body of Sergei Mitrofanov found at night from Saturday to Sunday on the highway near the village of Zhebrei.

On the picture you can see Mitrofanov standing with the handwritten poster: “Berl Lazar, Go Away! This is Our Russian Land!”

It’s truly shocking that the local authorities in Perm repeating that the death of Mitrofanov has “nothing to do” with his work as an elected official and his political activity, while the Israeli media openly states that he was murdered because he was standing in a way of Chabad setting up it terroristic center in Perm.

People living in Perm are getting on a meeting march 4th to protest against the Chabad presence in Perm and against Chabad terroristic activities against the Russian people in Ukraine.

The latest news is that the Police arrested a local businessman who, allegedly, ran over Mitrofanov with his car. One thing is clear: the Jewish media states that it was Chabad that murdered the Deputy for his campaign against Chabad presence in Perm. It’s a clear case of intimidation of people living in the region so they will stop fighting against this violent extremist religious sect.

50 million rubles is the price of the land that Permians oppose to gift to members of “Jewish Wahhabis” as the Chabad Jews are known. [source] [source]

All these bloody “horror” scenarios that are being played out by the Western special services, like an American man shooting his two adopted from Russia sons, an Uzbek schizophrenic woman killing a Russian child, and the murder of Sergey Mitrofanov with the Israeli media asserting that what happened to Mitrofanov will happen to everyone standing in the way of Israel asserting its power in Russia. It’s all psy-ops to “soften” and demoralize the population by expectations of unspeakable horror in preparation to “bloody revolution” that the delusional Western governments think they are preparing in Russia.

They are going to be very unpleasantly disappointed, it’s all I can say at the moment.

3. Mikhail Leontyev, a journalist and a Chief of Communications for the state company Rosneft about the vicious disinformation war that is being fought against the company by democrats and “liberalists.” He says that the campaign against this state company has started with the US sanction against it. Now, there is a government’s decision to sell part of the company to private shareholders, the media campaign is throwing mud at the company and its management in order to bring the price of the company down. This company is the biggest tax payer in Russia. Even now, being completely cut off from financing by the US and EU sanctions, and with the prices on oil an gas being so low, Rosneft has managed to make a profit. All the US and EU companies reported record loses last year and this year while Rosneft is the only company that reports profits. Despite the numbers that are available to the public, the Western media and the liberal media in Russia continue their smear campaign against Rosneft.

How do you keep track of it all? The under lying premise of plunder is easy to understand but everything else that goes with it is convoluted..

It is just amazing that even with so much evidence to the contrary to most everything that’s mentioned, ie they are being destroyed piece by piece for an agenda.. everyone seems to just goes along with it. Even the people that are being destroyed.. Unlike Syria where the vast majority of people woke up soon after life got hard..

I told you Russians are suckers.. Or are they just hoping for the best? The Europeans on the other hand are a lost cause of civilization.. Even the Chinese seem to be vastly more enlightened.. I think we need another force to wake people up. I just don’t see any of them.

Hi Scott, thanks for another interesting sitrep. Recently I’ve come across interesting analytical videos of Mr. Pjakin. They have a form of questions and answers from the viewers and are done weekly covering various topics. I find them very interesting mainly because his analyses go into much more depth than I have seen elsewhere so far and fill in many blank spots by distinguishing between various interest groups, not only between but also within particular countries and also global oligarchic ‘elites’.

I am not sure if Saker allows commercials but I just now came across this set of military miniature figures on the Zvesda website. http://www.zvezda.org.ru/?lng=1&nav=1&p=5&set=3665. Quote “The kit includes 4 figures of the so called «polite people» and 1 cat figure. Mysterious military units appeared in Crimea at the end of February 2014 – later one started to suspect that these “polite people” are in fact the units of the Russian army.” I just thought that it may be of interest. As a rule I don’t make comments anywhere. Thanks to the Saker and the contributors and the backroom workers.

I am not sure if Saker allows commercials (…) I just thought that it may be of interest.

Normally this would not have passed our moderation, and your post was flagged, but in this case I have decided to let it be posted. Maybe this is childish, but I find these miniature figures actually very moving, a celebration of an absolutely lovely and deeply moving event.
I even checked the US distributor, but they don’t appear to have this.
Too bad, I would love to get my hands on a set :-(
Thanks for the tip anyway.
Cheer and kind regards,
The Saker

Search I entered in was: “modern russian infantry polite people”, and at least 9 traders are selling the items. Some have multiple sets for sale. Quite a cheap price too, including very reasonable international shipping costs for the ones coiming out of Russia.

“All these bloody “horror” scenarios that are being played out by the Western special services, like an American man shooting his two adopted from Russia sons, an Uzbek schizophrenic woman killing a Russian child, and the murder of Sergey Mitrofanov with the Israeli media asserting that what happened to Mitrofanov will happen to everyone standing in the way of Israel asserting its power in Russia. It’s all psy-ops to “soften” and demoralize the population by expectations of unspeakable horror in preparation to “bloody revolution” that the delusional Western governments think they are preparing in Russia.”

Totally agree, this is what I thought about the issue with the “nanny” involved, a clearly attempt to sow discord between different religious groups that make up the Russian Federation living in peace and harmony thanks to the good will and common sense of Russian society and the efforts of the current leadership in the Kremlin that after the emergence of ISIS vermin, have clearly detected where attacks could come from once foreign powers have observed the limited opportunities for success of the pro-Western liberal opposition with its meager support for a possible color revolution.

Anyway, it seems to me that the Russians, having passed such tribulations troughout the ages, are not easy demoralized.

Good sense from the Kremlin not giving the desired propaganda to this issue, as this is how they sow terror. The same I think about spreading ISIS videos on the net. If they want to spread, just cut off this possibility.

An eye on Uzbekistan. My guts say me that problems can come out just from there. Tried to visit it last year just because of this, but finally could not do it. I would like to know Samarkanda and Bukhara before it is too late.

I stumbled on this You-Tube song, which touched something very deep inside me, and I recognized in it the same deep love I feel for the brave fighters of the Donbas and Syria. Thought I would share it with you all.

Almost 80 years ago, in Jan. 1937, the first of what what would eventually be 1600 North American volunteers for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War assembled in Madrid and formed the Abraham Lincoln Battalion. More than half were buried in Spain – nearly a quarter of them dead and wounded in their first battle in the Valley of Jarama. Throughout my youth I remember the Veterans of the Lincoln Brigade showing up at peace and civil rights demonstrations with their colors and uniforms.

The last of the North American veterans of the Spanish Civil War died recently at the age of 99. I’m told their organization lives on as the Smedley Butler Brigade, and still shows up at peace demonstrations.

“I have no doubt that Ukraine and Belorussia will come back and reunite with Russia. Because they are pieces of one country that was severed apart against the people’s will.”

I believe the Russian government is taking the same long view and this is why they minimise all actions against Ukraine so to avoid increasing Ukrainian antagonism towards Russia. Getting Ukrainians hating Russia is one of the goals the israeli-americans seek with their constant use of provacations against Novorussia and Russia. Basically a repeat of the same cowardly strategy the israelis use against the Palestinian people. The Russians fully understand this israel-american strategy, so don’t take the bait and rein in the hot heads who would.

You began by citing Dr. Zurab K. I feel that war news virus here so appreciate your out and about videos of Russia. Some can take their whiskey and war straight but not I. Well, I make an exception for Irish Spring, the nectar not the soap a dope.

But seriously, Ukraine is a bread basket and Monsanto is the most hated of Corpserations and does think it can live on bread alone if the bread is money and others’ blood.

Here in the empire’s harem house, Monsanto is suspected of planting lab e-coli at several up and coming GMO-free natural restaurants.

As Mark Twain said: if you put all your eggs in one basket, you have to watch that basket forever.

A basket of evil like basket-case Monsanto offers a lesson to Russians lusting after the SDR basket of currencies. Some guillotines come with baskets to catch heads. Looks like Russia is standing in line behind China. Kissinger makes sure the line is straight and moving.

Russia, oh Russia, I fear for you. With such friends and partners, who needs enemies?

Can’t speak for others, but my disappointment is with Russia, not the rebel zones. I was hoping that Russia was going to break free of its semi-colonial situation with the West, and that this would help lead the world to a less oligarchical and rotten model. So there was lots of hope with the actions in the Crimea – Russia seemed to have crossed the Rubicon. The only question was how the West would try to break Russia, and how Moscow would respond. Generally speaking, Moscow’s approach seems to have been to try to find allies within Europe for a less America-dominated system, which is pretty much what Moscow has been trying to do for the last 35 years or so, with varying degrees of success. The other element is a willingness to somewhat fight back, and this has scared some Europeans, so they want to straddle the line. They want to see Russia broken, but they don’t want their economies and political systems to be at risk of collapse.

To me, more important than Lavrov is how business and finance operate and progress inside Russia. Lavrov can and does give good speeches, but the “speech” I keep waiting for is the one saying that low-interest loans for productive infrastructure are now widely available and that speculative loans to profit from manipulating the ruble are gone, and that some speculators are even punished. I want to see Glazyev go on TV with a huge grin on his face.

Instead, I see money for a Yeltsin Center and even praise for Gorbachev. I would prefer a national day of remembrance for the victims of those two. It is in the millions. Thus, the disappointment. Liberalism and oligarchy seem to be doing OK in Moscow, just as in Brussels. If the liberals and oligarchs in Western Europe and Russia can patch up their differences, it is not such a good thing. Then they will be stronger in destroying and enslaving the rest of the world. Sure, it is a good thing to stop American violence, but that is coming to an end to a significant degree within ten years or so due to America’s economic decline. We need to change the model or path that the world is on. A return to a multi-polar world is good, but we don’t want the multi-polar world that existed during the great age of imperialism, where the small countries were treated like dirt.

There are a couple of things I’m thinking about on Ukraine and the EU.

1. Every Russian (and Belorussian) should see from the disaster of Ukraine,what fascism would bring to them if they let it in there.

2. I’ve seen posts (not here) about some people in the EU using Ukraine as a buffer against Russia. Thinking if a war does come all the fighting will be in Ukraine and they will be protected from it. So they can be just as anti-Russian as they want to be without worry. If war does come. Russia should not let that be so. They need to not stop the war until it has covered all the EU with destruction. Don’t let the ones that started this survive untouched. It will be easy to stop the fighting after destroying the fascists in Ukraine. But it should not be stopped there. The EU must suffer for what they’ve done. So it will never happen again. Only when they see that they too will pay the price for their evil deeds will they not do that again. And the same goes for the US. If they start it,the war needs to touch them as well. No one should be able to be immune from the destruction.Peace can only come if all sides have something to lose from wars.

Uncle Bob 1,
On the question of whether the USA and NATO countries should feel the pain and sufferings of ‘war’ that they have brought out in Eurasia, you are absolutely right – no one should be immune from the destruction (due to war).

However, ‘war’ as we know till date, will not take place in the same way, if the adversaries are from the veto-weilding powers like USA, Russia, France, UK, China or Israel, India, North Korea, Japan. The presence of hi-tech machinery will, first of all, prevent direct wars to a great extent, and finally if a war breaks out, there will be tremendous loss of life, property, and the environment may get inhabitable for at least 20 – 30 years.
In case, Russia fights such a war in future, Europeans will get maximum destruction – i think, nearest example will be how native Americans were decimated by British colonialists.

brill Scott, thank you-I just wish to bring forward if that is ok with you(say if not)from previous ukr sitrep(which I have kept up todate until yesterday might be worth checking for minor info) this which still seems important I feel–

“February 23, 2016 in the Verkhovna Rada was registered a bill (number 4128) on amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations” (with respect to changes in the religious communities of subordination). The media discussed in this decision is ambiguous, as public officials, focused on “Kiev Patriarchate”, want to legalize the process of capturing the temples of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate. In practice – split action will have legal force, and it will lead to the destruction of the UOC MP in the territory of the collapsed and mired in neo-Nazism Ukraine.

Creating a “one church” in Filaret plan

Recently, “the patriarch” Filaret expressed the belief that the creation of so-called “one church” in Ukraine will take place by moving communities under the jurisdiction of the “Kiev Patriarchate”. That is, he claimed, from “the bottom” simple believers. Rate has been made of the fact that the faithful, in virtue of the political situation, headlong rush to change the confessional subordination. And this process is not only held, but also got the resistance in society. “Crusade” Filaret, obviously, did not take place, because instead of the projected three hundred communities, “Kiev Patriarchate” hook-crook could entice only about 40 a minute. Today, therefore, we propose another scenario of transition communities. More precisely, the existing experience of “translation” of the UOC-MP churches in the so-called “UOC-KP” want to legalize.

Basically similar incidents occur in the West of Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the alleged in these regions the majority of the population supports the “Kiev Patriarchate”. But in reality, it is not so. Therefore, in those parishes where there are citizens who are favorably disposed towards the so-called “UOC-KP” can be by a majority vote (the vote but whom? Believers, who are actively involved in the life of the church, the so-called “aliens”?) To change the jurisdictional affiliation. This aspect of the comments the chairman of the Legal Department of the UOC MP, Archpriest Alexander Bach: “It is also not clear what can be considered by the words” part in religious life “? It’s enough to attend services, or just to take part in educational activities organized by the religious community, and maybe enough to come and spend the Passover? “.

The second important aspect is the issue of the legal component for the community. “Secondly, the content of the proposed rules, it follows that” at a meeting of citizens belonging to a religious community “, may be present and other persons who do not belong to a religious community, but the majority may consent to the change of the statutes of the religious community.”

basically Ukr church wants to take away and keep the Moscow Orthodox churches………
——————————————————————————————–
so “NATO” destroying sense of Russians still in ukraine religously belonging/associating to Rus (I agree with your point in opening statements that Donbass is still part of ukraine and VP has stated before it should still remain so-though we believe for its own sake it would be safer with Rus of course, and Zak has stated Donbass will or should march on Kiev………………)

bit more today
“That day is already a UN report Ukrainians continue to learn many new things about their country and respect to this whole “progressive humanity”. In particular, the Kiev was recommended to arrest and punish the participants of the blockade of the Crimea, to admit documents DNR and LC, to which the Ukrainian government has already said “no”.
And today there was another message: the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported on torture in the management of the SBU in the Odessa region and other violations of obligations of Ukraine as a state party to Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. This is a speech in the 13th report of the Mission, which covers the period from November 16, 2015 February 15, 2016

“OHCHR received disturbing reports that detainees in Odessa detained without contact with the outside world in the SBU building for up to five days of detention without contact with his family or access to a lawyer”, – the report says.

In addition, it refers to the activist from Odessa, was in favor of federalization of Ukraine, who was accused of terrorism and forced to sign a confession after the SBU in the Odessa region was tortured.

“According to him, during the interrogation, he suffocated with a plastic bag placed over the head and punched in the face, head and torso. After that, according to the victim, SBU took him into the hallway and found his son, whom they also arrested. Son was taken to a separate room, and the father heard his heart-rending cries, “- says the report of the UN Mission.

In addition, OHCHR reports, the SBU in the Odessa region was used psychological threats to the pregnant woman who was detained along with her husband at the checkpoint while crossing the contact line in the Donetsk region in October 2015. After that she lost the baby – in her words, it was the result of abuse, from which she suffered during detention.

Of particular concern is the UN High Commissioner that all the above mentioned and other facts of torture are not investigated. The report underlines that the authorities in Ukraine simply not interested in such investigations.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54298

other nodes plus several interviews with people arrested by ABU and later…….returned………………chilling.

but can’t ignore this
“Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Valery Chaly, Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleg Gladkovsky and Commander of the National Guard under the State of California General David Baldwin held a briefing at the US Congress in Washington. The topic of the briefing was the military assistance to Ukraine from the United States.

“During the discussion, members of Congress were assured of military support for Ukraine. In particular, a member of the Armed Services Committee, Duncan Hunter informed of the status of the draft law “On the support of the Ukrainian military,” which he initiated in the Congress, “- the report says the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States. Ambassador of Ukraine Valeriy Chaly urged the United States to expand the training program, as well as provide as Ukraine new military equipment.

Earlier, during a hearing of the US Senate Committee on Armed Forces, Commander of the European Command of the US Armed Forces, General Breedlove stressed the need to provide military assistance to Ukraine, including lethal weapons.

I Liked the song and that ending phrase nikagda. On listening to a speech by Putin, I noticed that phrase kept jumping out–he must have used it 5-8 times at the beginning, middle and end of sentences or so it seemed so I looked it up. The main Russian words in my vocabulary are now for hello, thanks, good bye and never. Maybe, as an American I should learn “my apologies”. sigh. Keep up the good work, Scott.

Thank you Saker for those nice videos of Sochi. Here in the West the reporting of that city was nothng short of slander. Now I can see that it is a very beautiful city. Thanks. I like to shre this one with this site. I may have seen it here some time ago. It is about the “Call of the Motherland Statue.” It is very moving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXBO8w8IzFY

Today’s meeting of the Ukrainian nationalists on the Independence Square in Kiev, which led molodyaschayasya Ukrainian politics grandmother Yulia Tymoshenko and the main radical of Ukraine Oleg Lyashko, became the most militant and hysterical action lately.
Speakers at the rally called on the authorities to declare war on Russia, and stop calling punitive operation in Donbas anti-terrorist operation (ATO).

“We need to start a full-fledged war with Russia, to clean up our land from enemies. This is a war, not any there ATO. We need to start a war! “- Literally comes to shout one of the leaders of Ukrainian Nationalists.

Behind him the podium minister Kiev Patriarchate, which called for the massacre of all who visit the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine.

“Russian priests mocked centuries the Ukrainian people, it is time to answer them for everything. Who can let the machine picks up and goes to war, who can not – let them draw the inscriptions on the houses of those who walk in the Moscow church, expels them, punishes lyustriruet. We must fight the internal enemy, it is necessary to drive all the internal enemies of the Ukrainian land, “- called the” humble Christian. ” He also demanded to include the Government of Ukraine outspoken nationalist, without which, in his opinion, Ukraine is simply perish.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54332

KIEV, March 7. /TASS/. The situation around the Russian embassy in Kiev remains quiet, no more provocations have been fixed, the embassy’s press secretary Oleg Grishin told TASS on Monday.
The disorders around the embassy in Kiev began at night to March 6. People in camouflage smocks, wearing facial masks, armed with baseball bats, attacked vehicles of the Russian embassy in Kiev. “They damaged greatly three cars,” the press secretary said. “Besides, they threw several blasting cartridges onto the territory of the Russian diplomatic mission.” He said the attackers were clearly well equipped and the attack had been staged. The unrest around the embassy continued to about 10 at night on Sunday.
Russia presented a note of protest to the Ukrainian foreign minister, but the authorities left without comments the attack on the embassy. Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin said only he supported “fully peace actions.” Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk made a similar statement.

Case unprecedented: Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin said he supported the Ukrainian radical excesses in the Russian embassy in Kiev, which lasted almost a day, starting from Saturday night to Sunday, 6 March.

The so-called “peace action” in support of Ukrainian Nationalists Hope Savchenko, whose trial is now in Russia, included the arson and mayhem of cars, pelting the building of the Russian embassy with eggs and bottles with green paint, smoke bombs and flares.

“I fully support peaceful actions #FreeSavchenko. Russia should immediately stop slowly kill Hope. I call on the world to support us in this, “- wrote about this Ukrainian Foreign Minister Klimkin on his page on the social network.

The fact that those “peaceful protesters” with Fire in his hands were covered with masks and they furiously smashed parked at the Embassy cars, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine do not mind, as that has penetrated to the national territory of the Russian Federation, which is terrotoriya Embassy fighter battalion “Aydar”, hit the windows in the building, another “peaceful protest” tried to set fire to the roof, and the third flag of Ukraine hanging on the fence of the embassy.

Recall: Hope Savchenko – Servicemen APU, correctness rovschitsa fire, delayed on the Russian territory. As a result of fire from its submission June 17, 2014, Russian journalists have been killed under the Lugansk.”

“Yatsenyuk will voluntarily step down from his office if he receives a position comparable with his current office – head of Ukraine’s Security and Defense Council or National Bank of Ukraine,” Bortnik told Golos UA periodical.
Yatsenyuk may also be interested in compensation for losing the prime minister’s post and for his party’s presence in the parliamentary coalition, Bortnik said. The compensation may be financial or by “promotion of his team members to other positions, probably in law enforcement or in economic block,” the expert added.
“Finally, the most important is to receive guarantees regarding absence of criminal prosecution for his work in the office,” the expert said. Such guarantees should be extended by the president and Ukraine’s western partners, Bortnik added.
Ukraine’s mass media reported earlier citing sources in the presidential administration that finance minister Natalie Jaresko tentatively consented to lead the government and presented several conditions.

MOSCOW, March 5. /TASS/. The defense ministry of self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has denied allegations of Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service of shelling the Maryinka control checkpoint.
Earlier, Kiev had announced the Maryinka checkpoint was closed due to “ceasefire violations.” The border guard service said that on Saturday morning the checkpoint came under shelling from grenade launchers and a sniper rifle delivered from the village of Alexandrovka controlled by the DPR militias.
“Nothing can reach it either from small arms or from grenade launchers,” the spokesman for the DPR defense ministry, Eduard Basurin, was quoted by the Donetsk news agency as saying.
“It is unreal. Perhaps, if we have changed the laws of physics and a bullet flies a three times’ distance while a mortar – a two times’ distance, then everything is possible,” he said. “However, it is unreal physically.”.

If the Ukrainian pilot-gunner Nadezhda Savchenko, who declared the other day a dry hunger strike, dies in prison in Russia, a full-scale war between Ukraine and Russia may begin.

This opinion was expressed by the people’s Deputy and oligarch Serhiy Taruta, who earlier held the post of Governor of the Donetsk region.

“Neither the states nor the world community understand the catastrophic consequences that may stem from the death of the heroic Nadezhda Savchenko. The slow and painful death of Nadezhda in a Russian prison will become an impetus for executions like the Heavenly Hundred. This tragedy will trigger uncontrollable processes that could result in massive bloodshed or a fully-fledged war in the region”, — stated Taruta in a message published on Facebook.

Taruta believes that Ukraine will not be able to guarantee security of the Russian Embassy and of workers in Russian companies.

“I want to note that in the event of the death of Nadezhda Savchenko, Ukraine will not be able to guarantee the safety of Embassy officials and workers in Russian companies. The death of Nadezhda will inevitably lead to an escalation in the military conflict in the East, civil protests, and destabilization in the region. In fact, the death of Nadezhda signifies the beginning of a full-scale war. We must do everything possible and impracticable to return Nadezhda home alive,” added Taruta.

At the same time Ukraine has already agreed to compare Savchenko with Christ and the book of Judith.

Ukrainian pilot-gunner Nadezhda Savchenko is the personification of Ukraine and, to a certain extent, is the image of Christ.

Kiev based UNN reported this, quoting the opinion of “Kievian Viktoriya”at the rally in Kiev today in support of Savchenko:”

Ukraine should continue to simulate the performance of the readiness of Minsk agreements, to demonstrate their support, but this time is required to prepare the army for an attack on the Donbass. This was stated by Ukrainian public and political figure, leader of the “Brotherhood” and the ex-leader of the UNA-UNSO Dmitry Korchinskiy, which even the Ukrainian media referred professional provocateur.
“We do not want any results of this kind of negotiation. The only result that will satisfy us – is the liberation of the occupied territories. We do not need elections there, in principle, does not want peace on these lands. It is a land of war and it must remain so as long as it is occupied. We can not give Muscovy get out of sanctions, that is, to calm the situation enough to allow our Western partners to lift the sanctions. We need to continue to negotiate, to demonstrate constructiveness, but do not need to been achieved any result. We need the Minsk agreement, and we need to continue negotiations to infinity, as long as we can not start their offensive, “- said Korchinskiy.

Recall that during the combat phase of the so-called “ATO” Korchinskiy participated in the destruction of Donbass, along with other representatives of the organization “Brotherhood” as a part of the battalion “Miner”, disbanded for looting, and then – as granatomёtchika fought in the battalion “Holy Mary”

In an interview LІGA.net Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko eloquently he spoke about the loss of benefits “psevdopereselentsam” from the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. He said the loss of the pension fund can sostavlyat12 billion. Hryvnia.
Under psevdopereselentsami, presumably, they understand those of pensioners and other socially vulnerable citizens, which forced the Ukrainian government to issue a residence permit on the Ukrainian territory. According to the Ministry of Social Policy, Ukraine registered 1.7 million internally displaced people from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

Now these people are clearly under the Constitution should receive pensions and benefits, even if they live somewhere in Uruguay, because earned by deducting money in Ukrainian Pension Fund in Ukraine, decided to rob.

To free yourself from these payments Rozenko and others have come up with a new piece of “fraud” who themselves had provoked. Moreover, it attracted the SBU to fight with the people who were forced every month life-threatening to cross the Ukrainian checkpoints. “On March 3, SBU announcements made about 400 thousand. Persons suspected of fraud in obtaining social benefits. Upon recommendation of the Security Service has suspended the payment of social assistance to 150 thousand. Persons. Thus checked Only refugees who have settled in five areas: Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia.

As reported ForUm, Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine intends to stop the implementation of the social benefits of 350 thousand people, who remain displaced, and actually live in the areas not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine in Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

At the same time, Mr. Rozenko modestly silent about those retirees who because of their age and physical abilities have not been able to travel and to restructure pensions and benefits. This category of citizens in August 2014 does not receive anything from the state, which has worked on all his life. There are suspicions that these payments are much steeper than twelve billion.

These people live off the pensions established and paid on a monthly basis of the republic, for which work they can not ever, all for the same reason that the limited mobility.

In the coming years, to bathe in the Ukrainian territory of the Azov coast will be dangerous. Soldiers APU began installing underwater mines here.

Such measures are taken to protect against the alleged assault of the enemy. Ukrainian intelligence reported about the plans of the army DNI – go to Mariupol sea.

The territory where the landing is possible, surrounded by barbed wire and patrolled constantly forces the so-called “TAU”. Access to the locals here is closed.

Mines will work for all water transport enemy: amphibious, combat or simple watercraft. They do not move in the water and are stable at the bottom. These are attached bars, which lead mines in the action, when the ship or boat offend them, sailing even at shallow depths.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54389

I seem to remember a craft of some kind being blown up last year too…………….

The Ukrainian people remain hostage to the deceitful Kiev regime, but no one is ready to welcome them into Europe, the head of the State Duma’s Committee for Security and Countering Corruption, Irina Yarovaya, has told reporters.
The comments came soon after the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said in a speech in The Hague that he does not expect Ukraine to join the European Union or NATO in the nearest 20 or even 25 years.

“Ukraine will definitely not be able to become a member of the EU in the next 20-25 years, and not of NATO either,” Juncker said, as quoted by German news agency DPA.

Yarovaya gave her comments on the matter to RIA Novosti: “The EU and NATO do not value the sacrifice of the Ukrainian elite. The deceived and dispossessed Ukrainian people remain hostages of the mad and cynical instigators of Maidan,” she said.

“Euromaidan activists have already packed their bags, but it turned out that they still have nowhere to go – no one expects them anywhere,” Yarovaya added, using the ‘Euromaidan’ term coined by mass media two years ago to describe the protests against the cancelation of Ukraine’s association agreement with the European Union. The discontent eventually resulted in the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovich, and led to the establishment of the current Kiev regime.

The association agreement went into force provisionally on January 1 this year, but it still requires support from all 28 members of the European Union.

A public opinion poll conducted by the Russian state-owned agency VTSIOM in late February this year showed that many Russians now see the Ukrainian political crisis as “anarchy and banditry” caused by the policies of the Kiev authorities and provoked from Washington.”

followup
“UNITED NATIONS, March 9. / TASS /. The United Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has expressed concern over Ukrainian government’s decision to suspend social payments for 150,000 internally displaced persons (IPDs) from Donbass.
“A new source of concern in February was the government’s announcement to suspend social payments for a significant number of IDPs. On February 21, Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk informed of suspension of social payments to 150,000 IDPs due to anecdotal occurrences of fraud,” OCHA said in its “Humanitarian Bulletin: Ukraine Issue” for February 2016.

Fighting in eastern Ukraine intensified in February – UN report
“The alarming news about suspension of social payments to IDPs came only days after the Parliamentary hearings in Verkhovna Rada on 17 February dedicated to” the human rights situation of the internally displaced people and citizens of Ukraine, “the report added. Despite the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On amendments to certain laws of Ukraine to strengthen the guarantees of the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons” in December, the government and ministers were heavily criticized for neglecting the needs and rights of IDPs, for the absence of strategies and budget allocations, fostering separation of NGCAs [non-government controlled areas] and not treating equally Ukrainian citizens living there and excessive bureaucratic impediments, “OCHA added.
“Among the speakers, the UN was represented by the Resident Coordinator, Neal Walker and the Head of the Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), Fiona Frazer. During the presentation, HRMMU made a particular focus on the human rights violations of people residing in NGCAs, the absence of rule of law there, the situation in Crimea as well as on residual obligations of the Ukrainian government towards all of its citizens regardless their place of residence, “the report noted.
Kiev’s refusal to make social payments triggered a strong reaction from the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk republics (DPR and LPR). DPR people’s council speaker Denis Pushilin said that the official refusal of Ukrainian authorities to make social payments to IDPs from Donbass demonstrate that these people are no longer considered Ukrainian citizens.

OCHA said in its report that “a group of 16 Ukrainian civil society organizations involved in humanitarian aid issued an appeal to the Ukrainian government, asking the Ministry of Social Policy to immediately stop suspending IDPs certificates on the basis of data provided by the SSU and the SBGS as such practice is ‘clearly in violation of the Ukrainian law’. ”
“In February, the situation further deteriorated when the government temporarily closed the Mariinka and Zaytseve checkpoints in Donetsk Oblast for security reasons. This resulted in a backlog of vehicles and pedestrians attempting to cross the remaining two checkpoints, with some forced to wait as long as 36 hours on the road, in unbearable conditions, “the report added. OCHA called on Ukrainian authorities to “limit closure of checkpoints to prevent hardship for civilians” reminding that “four civilians were killed on 10 February when their minivan drove over a landmine as they sought to avoid the long queue or vehicles near Mariinka checkpoint.”.

Another hunger strike this is at least the second or third one that hyena has been on. And as for the junta providing security for the Russian Embassy. An MP in the Russian Duma called for Russia sending a detachment of Red Berets from Russia to handle that chore.That shouldn’t be very hard work for then to do.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk is taking the brunt of the anger of the populace for the horrible situation the country finds itself two years after the Maidan semi-revolution (a revolution of one half of the country). That means it’s time for his partners, such as president Poroshenko to make him the scapegoat and cut him off – however, the last time they attempted to do so Americans stood by “their guy Yats” and thwarted the effort.

But Poroshenko is nothing if not persistent. And now he also seems to have found a way to get Americans on board. It’s simple, brilliant and beyond embarrassing. He’s offering them the only candidate who they have to be even more partial to than their favored son Yats – it’s the finance minister Natalie Jaresko, the Illinois-born veteran of the State Department which since 2014 is a freshly baked citizen of the Republic of Ukraine. Report:

Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko is in talks with President Petro Poroshenko on possibly taking over the job of prime minister from Arseniy Yatsenyuk, according to reports over the weekend.

Concrete talks are underway between the president and Jaresko, reported Ukrainska Pravda, citing unidentified officials in the presidential administration on March 4, adding that the US-born technocratic finance minister has drawn up a list of demands she wants fulfilled before accepting the post.
It does seem unlikely that Victoria Nuland which is subordinate within the State Department only to John Kerry could say no to a candidate formed in her own bureaucracy.

Two Ukrainian ship arrived in Turkey. Ukrainian Navy frigate “Getman Sahaidachny” in Istanbul load military equipment. Along with him came to the Turkish port and the ship degaussing “Balta”. Media reports about the loading of military equipment in the amount of 810,000 dollars, which Turks transmit Ukrainians free.
At least, it is about body armor and uniforms. In addition, the Ukrainian ships took part in the exercises in the Sea of ​​Marmara, where, together with the Turkish frigate worked maneuvering matters, the organization of communication and anti-submarine warfare. Ukrainian sources say that the Ukrainian Navy crews planned to train at the training center of the Turkish Navy.

Letter of the day in today’s issue of the Dutch newspaper AD is entitled: “Ukraine is corrupt, so all vote ‘no’.”

Reader Carel Pronk wrote that he has never previously thought about engaging in political activity, but he is now going to personally distribute agitative leaflets against the EU-Ukraine agreement. Here it is…

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, responded to the calls of US Secretary of State John Kerry to release the citizen of Ukraine Nadiya Savchenko. Kerry called her further detention the non-compliance of the Minsk agreements.

Zakharova recalled that the Minsk agreements say nothing about the citizen of Ukraine Nadiya Savchenko, accused in Russia of involvement in the deaths of journalists in Donbass.

“This raises serious doubts as to the authenticity of authorship. John Kerry must not know that there is not a single word about Nadiya Savchenko in the Minsk agreements, and her case doesn’t not apply to any of the points,” wrote Zakharova on her Facebook page.

In her opinion, the publication of calls for the release of the defendant the day before the court case is a direct attempt at pressuring the court to influence the decision.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that the US State Department showed no interest in investigating the deaths of two Russian VGTRK journalists.

“Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin were journalists, who, at the time of their death, were conducting professional duties. The State Department’s indifference to the search for the killers of media representatives, who they are usually so concerned about, is direct proof of Washington’s use of human rights issues solely for political purposes”, — said Zakharova.

MOSCOW, March 9. /TASS/. Interference in trial of Ukrainian ex-pilot Nadezhda Savchenko and calls to introduce sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russians are unacceptable, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
“We cannot accept attempts of meddling in trials that are held in this country in strict compliance with the current Russian legislation,” Peskov told reporters, adding that this also concerns the Savchenko case.
“Any kind of interference here is unacceptable,” he stressed.
Peskov said Russia has “certain procedures that are being implemented now.” “As the trial is ongoing, we also believe that any comments here are in fact impossible and unacceptable.”
Members of the European Parliament urged EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in a letter signed on Tuesday to introduce sanctions against the Russian president and 28 other individuals.
The call comes in reaction to the trial of Savchenko that is now underway in southern Russia. The verdict is expected to be announced on March 21-22, the court said.
Russia’s prosecutor has earlier called for a 23-year prison term and a fine of 100,000 rubles ($1,400) for Savchenko. She is charged with murder, attempted murder and illegal border crossing.
Investigators say Savchenko joined the Aidar militant battalion and in June 2014 conducted covert surveillance and direction of artillery bombarding targeting a checkpoint in the much-troubled Lugansk region. The settlement was full of civilians, including three Russian journalists.
Two Russian journalists – Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin – from the All-Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (VGTRK) died in the shelling.

extract from full report
Over the past day the Ukrainian military violated the ceasefire thirty-one times and shelled the territory of the Republic 199 times. In the shellings the enemy launched ten shells from tank, five 120mm and six 82mm mines from mortars. The enemy also used infantry fighting vehicles eighty times, grenade launchers of different types, anti-aircraft systems and small arms.

The most intensive shellings, including from heavy weapons prohibited by the Minsk Agreements, were applied to the following localities: Zaitsevo, Ozeryanovka, Spartak, Yasinovataya, Dokuchayevsk, Shirokaya Balka, Sakhanka, the area of the Airport, the Volvo Centre, the Petrovsky district of the city of Donetsk.

According to the just received data from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as a result of the heavy artillery fire on the part of the AFU onto the locality of Nikolayevka (4 km southwards from the town of Dokuchayevsk) there were destroyed five residential houses. The casualties among the civilians are being specified. In the meantime, the shelling of the residential quarters keeps going on.

Over the past day our intelligence registered the concentration of weapons, military equipment and personnel near the contact line: ……..Besides, I would like to notice the assistance of the Deputy Head of the OSCE Mission in Ukraine Alexander Hug and the JCCC representatives from Russia in stabilization of a situation. After they had got involved it was succeeded to damp an aggressive ardour of invaders. In particular, during the intensive firing from the AFU positions the JCCC representatives from the Russian side had called the general A.Taran, demanding to stop shelling and then came a response: ‘Leave Yasinovataya and the fire will be ceased’. Actually it confirms the Kiev’s permission given to the AFU to violate the Minsk agreements.

The Ukrainian leaders haven’t reacted to our requirements to leave a grey zone. These actions have forced us to take drastic measures not to allow the further movement of the enemy deep into the territory of the Republic. We don’t rise to provocations, but we are in full readiness to repel aggression and the further occupation of Donbass.

“Turkey does not recognize the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and is joint planning with Ukraine steps for its de-occupation. This was stated by President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko at a joint press conference in Ankara.

“Turkey did not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea and is not going to do either,” Erdogan said. According to him, Russia violated international law in this matter.

“Mr President (of Turkey) supported the joint steps aimed at the de-occupation of Crimea. For this plan we will work together in the framework of international organizations on the basis of new international formats, including the format of “Geneva+” with the participation of the guarantors of the Budapest Memorandum, Turkey and Ukraine”, — quotes “Interfax” from the words of the President of Ukraine.

“Despite a decrease in the number of civilian casualties in the Donbas region, east of Ukraine over the past few months, a new UN report shows that the conflict is severely impacting on the daily life of civilians, with a growing sense of despair and isolation affecting those living in the conflict zone, especially in the areas controlled by the armies of the Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk ,” – according to the report.
Fighting in the east of Ukraine, the Donbas region intensified in February due to the constant bombing and indiscriminate attacks by the Ukraine Junta on civilians using multiple types of weaponry including the targeting of hospitals and schools, water , gas and power plants . The situation of the residents of the region worsened, according to a series of reports on Ukraine by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
“There is a terrible sensation of physical, political, social and economic isolation and abandonment among the huge number of people – more than three million in all – who are struggling to eke out a living in the conflict zone. They are in urgent need of greater protection and support,” said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein as cited by the report.
According to the three UN agencies: Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, the World Health Organization and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, between 16 November 2015 and 15 February 2016, 78 conflict-related civilian casualties were recorded in thDonbass region, eastern Ukraine, bringing the estimated casualty figures since the beginning of the conflict to more than 30,000 people, including at least 9,160 killed and 21,000 injured. These figures include civilians as well as Nazi Ukrainian armed forces, and Armies of the Republic Donetsk and Lugansk.

In contrast, as of December 2015, which is remembered by victorious reports about wage growth is now pro-government media stubbornly silent on the payroll figures for January 2016. And there is talk about anything, wrote in his blog, the leader of the “Ukrainian choice” Victor Medvedchuk.
“The average salary of Ukrainians was 4362 UAH in January of this year., Which is 868 UAH. Less than in December of 2015. Of course, such a reduction is and seasonal, as it is related to the payment of December bonuses (where such payments have found means) But there is another side to the coin -. decrease in purchasing power hryvnia capacity in connection with the New Year and Christmas increase in prices “, – he wrote.
As noted Medvedchuk , the holidays have passed, and the increased prices have remained. Even Gosstat forced to admit that the real average salary in January 2016 decreased by 16.6% compared to the previous month.
“But this is only the beginning of the year, and the main rise in prices yet to come! Already in March 2016 increased by 25% prices for electricity in April, the Cabinet is going to raise rates, and to the rest of utility services in short, for the majority of Ukrainians prospects more than sad, “-.. stressed Medvedchuk.
according to the politician, it is revealing that, in comparison with January 2015 index of real wages in January 2016 decreased by 13.2%. Another year of such negative dynamics – and a social explosion is inevitable. After all, the very average salary in 4362 UAH. – It is only about $ 164. Interestingly, in 2013, the minimum salary was 1147 UAH., That the then exchange rate UAH 8 ./$ was $ 143.4.
“Thus, today the average patch is very close to the minimum level of the sample in 2013 in dollar terms. It is not should not forget that the average salary (or higher) is not more than 30% of working all the rest -. less often – much less especially state employees -. doctors, teachers, postal employees, “- said Medvedchuk.
According Medvedchuk, people care about is now one the question whether such a permit low-income working Ukrainians to survive in the current year? Given the fact that the Cabinet clearly intends to continue its anti-social policies, it is clear that it will be difficult to survive.

As is known, Yulia Tymoshenko demanding the resignation of A. Yatsenyuk and early parliamentary elections, and the “Fatherland” clearly is not going to return to the coalition.

If candidates or Groisman Yaresko for prime minister will be supported in Washington to Tymoshenko remains one return path to the coveted power – to destroy Poroshenko. The situation of political crisis and social unrest is a good time to roll neck weak. Walk over the corpses of this lady knows how to cleverly, and it is better to lie still none of the Ukrainian political establishment, not learned.

However, it is not known what will end the struggle prime – the Verkhovna Rada, which scenario would prefer Washington, but in any case Ukraine these permutations will not win anything – it is quite predictable.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54588

Prostitutes and drug addicts in Ukraine intend to allow blood donors. The job specified in the approved government plan of action for the implementation of the National Strategy in the field of human rights for the period until 2020. Corresponding changes Ukrainian Ministry of Health must make to the regulations to the II quarter of this year.
So, of Annex 3 to the Procedure for the medical examination of blood donors, and (or) its components, approved by the Ministry of Health by Order dated August 1, 2005 № 385 “About infectious safety of donor blood and its components “are going to delete paragraph 1.3. It identifies risk behaviors that are absolute contraindications to blood donation, namely the provision of sexual services for a fee, sexual relations with unfamiliar individuals without a condom, frequent change of sexual partners, homosexuality, drug addiction.”

“Not only forecasts, but even advises all who have the opportunity, to leave the Ukraine.

Director of energy programs of the Center for World Economy and International Relations, Valentin Zemlyansky said that the so-called planned “alignment of the interconnection capacity” could lead to disaster. In this case, several Chernobyl of Ukraine are guaranteed. “If you decide to maneuver atomic blocks, I advise to leave the country, – says Zemlyansky. – What can happen to a nuclear reactor, if they begin to maneuver, we’ve all seen in April 1986. Then in Chernobyl, in fact, worked out such an option. ”

The expert recalled that the nuclear reactors, which are operated on the Ukrainian nuclear power plants constructed during the Soviet era, and to use them for daily maneuvering capacity is technically impossible.

“Construction of nuclear reactors of Soviet construction are not designed to carry out the daily maneuvering. Technically, you can maneuver, but very slowly and no more than once a year. And he not, as suggested by the Ministry – to reduce and increase the capacity several times a day, “- said the expert.
Zemlyansky also clarified that the increase in the share of nuclear power in electricity generation, proposed in a published letter to NAC” Ukrenergo “, could undermine the balance of the unified energy system .

“And if for thermal generation also abolished the rule of minimum content (the requirement of the energy on the work of TES staff units is not less than the minimum process – Ed.), The emergency situations may arise in the integrated power system. Disconnected power unit of TPP can not simply start promptly, and electricity consumption peaks have nothing to cover, “- said the expert.

According to him, in order to maintain a united energy system in a stable state government needs to ensure the functioning of the energy market. Then all the segments of the industry to have the means to modernize the facilities. Meanwhile, finance costs are not rational.

Recall NAEC “Energoatom” plans in the next year to master maneuvering nuclear power plants with a daily discharge of up to 75% of rated power.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54586

“As soon as President Poroshenko had to offer its “Turkish friends” actively participate in the privatization of state enterprises in Ukraine as they have stated that Ankara is interested in this regard.

As the head of Energy and Coal Industry Ministry of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchishin Turkey is very interested in the privatization of Ukrainian coal mines. In other words, the Turkish side is ready to participate in the process of privatization of energy assets in Ukraine. Will this coal enterprises in the territory of Donbass – the one part of that now controls Kiev, or mine Lvov-Volyn coal basin in western Ukraine, is still unknown.

Also during his visit to Ankara Poroshenko discussed joint projects on deliveries to Ukraine Caspian Iranian gas, the construction of gas storage facilities in Turkey, possible cooperation in nuclear energy, and the development of the uranium mining industry.

Kiev believes that Turkey is an important partner in energy security issue, since control of the Straits, which in Ukraine are the supply of liquefied gas.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54556

“Turkish journalist visited DONi News Agency in the city of Donetsk yesterday on March 9. He told us fresh experiences from one month travel around Ukraine. Experienced journalist has visited several times for past two years both Ukraine and the independent states in Donbass. His stories about experiences in Ukraine made our news works to a halt and we asked him about expressions from cities like Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa and Kiev.

I need to remind you, that we in DONi News Agency have no possibilities to visit regions which are under Kiev’s control, because of huge threat coming from side of extremist Nazi-batallions, which are keeping “terrorist-lists” from non-wanted persons. What we had heard only strengthened our views about situation behind Ukrainian positions.

What the Turkish journalist has faced during his tour in Ukraine is in grim, catastrophic state. He told about Ukrainian Nazi-battallions, which have set up tent camps to city centres, just next to administration al buildings to remind local population who in Ukraine is really keeping power. Vehicles with Nazi-symbols and wall paintings, promoting nationalistic ideology, are placed in centres, like just in front of shopping malls.

Presence of fascists is among population with “Big Brother” -style. Journalist highlighted that all kind of military presence in Ukraine is common. I asked that how it differed from what he saw here in Donbass, and he answered truthfully, “here is no highlighted military presence in city centres.”

Turkish journalist told us how shocked he was by his numerous friends in Ukraine, who are living truly poorly, in famine. Level of wages are not enough to stay alive and he told about his detailed countings, which show that his friends are not able to feed even their most basic needs. He told us cynical phrase what he have heard about situation in Ukraine today: “next we are going to eat each other”.

Economic killing of Ukraine has gone to extreme level and at the same time gap between wages has grown to astronomical levels. Life in centre of Kiev has become so expensive, that only few and selected have right to live in Ukrainian capital, and all others are just doomed to disappear – to die to their weakness as scum.

Journalist is convinced, that Ukraine has reached is bottom and there is no way out from dis-pear. Ukraine is faulted and collapsing. All wealth what maybe is still left is given to military, which is waging war and every soldier is on shoulder of bankrupted country and its people.

Situation cant hold, journalist assures after just experiencing one month around Ukraine. Grey and unhappy faces are everywhere: “I was witnessing second anniversary in Maidan in Kiev. I can assure and prove that in celebration in February, there was only around 400 people!”
etc

This was told Kiev reporters chairman of the so-called Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people, one of the organizers of the commodity and energy blockade of the Crimea, Refat Chubarov. However, for this, according to Chubarov, we need to coordinate the efforts of most of the executive power of Ukraine: the allocation of land, the approval of the necessary project documentation, decision-making.
“This one thousand houses, we plan to build in the Kherson region. It will be two or three settlement concentrations of Crimean Tatars. That people do not dissolve in Ukraine, to be able to ensure the right to education in their native language and other cultural needs. Clearly, if we implement a project for the construction of these houses in the Kherson region, he immediately drags along other projects – social, infrastructural, educational and cultural institutions “, – said Chubarov.

According to him, the Turks are ready to start building homes, “tomorrow.” “Now it’s the Ukrainian ministries and departments that need to co-ordinate their work in order to land a year, as they have not recovered to make quick decisions”, – Chubarov said.

Recall that in Hrsonskoy region, on the border with Crimea, another “leader” of the Crimean Tatars – Lenur Islyamov now creating combat troops to force the release of the peninsula. “The Return of the peninsula by military means has not been canceled” – he said.”http://www.anna-news.info/node/54679
